When I See You Smile
Chapter 5
===...Sorry...===
Three more days had past, today marking the fourth day. Yoh hadn't improved, seemed to only get worse. He now spent his days sitting on the edge of the porch, staring off. The others would try to talk to him, only to get the same replies over and over again. "Who cares? Whatever... It don't matter..." "I tell ya, there's something wrong with him!" shouted Trey, sitting with the others in the dining room. "Ya think?!" shouted Morty, the others blinking. "Maybe we should take him to a doctor." asked Ryo, Jun shrugging some. "It wouldn't hurt.." she said, the others nodding. They continued to talk, Lenny leaning back against a wall, listening to them give only useless and idiotic reasons. He sighed, standing. "Personally, I think he just need a nice wack to the head." the others looked to him blinking. "Personally Len, I think that would do more damage." replied Trey, Pillica and the others agreeing.
They continued to talk, Anna staying silent as she listened to the others. "Maybe, he's just not feeling good..." offered Tamora, the others agreeing. "Yeah, but even when you're sick, you don't just go around yelling at everyone!" shouted Trey, right into Lenny's ear. Lenny glaired, clenching a fist. "Well, technically, he's not yelling at anyone." said Morty, the others looking to him, raisisng an eyebrow. "I mean, he's upset, but he's moreoverly just staying to himself." "I agree." said Amidamaru, popping up from behind Morty. Morty yelled out, falling over. "Gah! You know I hate when you do that!" shouted Morty, panting hard now. "Forgive me Lord Morty." said Amidamaru, bowing some. Shortly after, the other spirits joined the conversation.
"Yoh has refused to train or share unity with Amidamaru, which makes me wonder if it's something to do with his health." began Jun, sipping at her tea some. "If he's feeling under the weather, he'll be unable to share unity with Amidamaru." she finished, the others shrugging some. "Dude, no offence, but did you not see him at breakfest?" asked Trey, the others looking to him. "He eats like he's been starved!" he cried, the others nodding. "Ok, so he's in good health." nodded Ryo. They continued to talk, Anna staring at her tea cup, wishing they would mention something about what had happend while the girl was here. It was driving her nuts, not being able to know what had happened, made her feel helpless. She closed her eyes for a moment drowning out the others chit-chatting.
"All I know is that about four days ago, Yoh got up sick, went to get water, and afterwards, seemed to be quite out of it." said Amidamaru, the others nodding some. "Oh, so it's something in the water!" shouted Trey, only to be yelled at by Lenny. "Idiot! If it was in the water, then everyone would have got it too!" Trey twiddled his thumbs, a sarcastic look on his face as he looked to Len. "Ok, jeez kid, get a grip, who left you in charge of the fun police?" he asked, only to be pounced upon by Lenny. "I'll show you fun police!" shouted Len, Trey only laughing like a loonatic. Pillica and Jun quickly got to their feet to seperate the two.
Tamora blinked, deciding to let the others handle it. She then turned her attention back to her two spirits. "Well, when I get sick you know what helps me?" asked Conchy, Ponchy looking to him. "What's that bro?" asked the other spirit. "A nice cup of tea!" shouted Conchy, laughing as Ponchy thought about this. Anna opened her eyes, her mind racing. ...tea... she thought. ...that day they all had tea... Anna looked to Tamora, who was focused on her spirits. "Tamora..." said Anna, Tamora looking to her. "Yes Anna?" she replied, her hair swaying some as she faced her. Anna glanced around, saw the others were distracted, but didn't really feel like talking here. "Make me some tea and bring it to my room." said Anna, standing now. Tamora blinked, her spirits doing the same, but quickly nodded, watching as Anna left the room.
Once Anna was gone, Tamora took it upon herself to clean the kitchen and that ment kicking everyone else out. "Come on, outside and train." she said, shooing out Trey, Lenny, and Ryo. "But Tamora!" whined Trey, only to be dragged off by Pillica. "Come on Trey! You have to keep training if you want to win the Shaman Tournement!" she said, Trey crying as he was dragged. Tamora watched, blinking some, then turned, quickly making the tea Anna had bought. It was some herbal blend, a really nice one that made the whole kitchen smell sweet. She still had a few minutes before the tea would be finished and in turn, began to clean up the dining area.
Morty was in the dining room, gathering the tea cups and setting them on the tray. He didn't have to make any dummies, seeing as Yoh would much rather staire at the trees, then train for the Shaman Tournament. Morty sighed, not sure what was wrong with his best friend, only hoping he would be ok soon. He also hoped Tamora would no longer be angry with him. He knew she was upset over all that had happened when the girl was there, and knew she had every right to be. He sighed, noting she hadn't talk to him since that day. He felt so bad, knew he could only blame himself. He wanted to talk to her, but wasn't sure what to say. ...this is bad... he thought, realizing how much of a crush he had on Tamora. He never really told anyone, and tried his best to hide it, figuring she had a thing for Trey or maybe even Lenny. All in all, he wasn't sure what to do, or what to say for that matter, yet he knew that he needed to restore their friendship and soon.
He continued to gather the cups and such, setting them on the tray. He picked up the tray, turnning as he did...and bumped into Tamora. The two stumbled back, Morty lucky catching his balance, Tamora doing the same. "S-Sorry..." said Morty looking to her. "It's ok..." she replied softly. The two stood for a while in silence, not looking to one another. Morty held the tray still, Tamora scratching the back of her head. ...man, what do I say... thougth Morty, taking a glance at Tamora. She looked to him, then quickly looked away, blushing. He did the same, only looking to the floor. The two sighed, silence still between them. Morty sighed deeply, taking a deep breath, hoping what he said would make things right between them again. "Tamora..." Morty began, Tamora looking to him. "Ahh, i'm sorry.." he said softly, staring at the floor again.
Tamora blinked, listening to him. Morty looked to her sadly, Tamora giving him the same look. "I know what I did was wrong..." he said, then shook his head. "But there was still no excuse for it. I mean, you're my friend, and...and I really like you..." he said, blushing deeply, Tamora doing the same. "Nothing I say can make up for it...but...i'm sorry..." he said, looking to her, Tamora looking to him sadly now. ...he likes me... she thought, her heart racing. She was still bright red, as was Morty. Morty then blinked, realizing what he had just said, and blushed even deeper. Tamora smiled some, lowering her head. ...heh in your face purple hair girl...! she thought, smiling now.
Before Morty could speak, Tamora spoke. "It's ok Morty..." she said softly, walking to him. Morty blinked, looking to her. Tamora blushed, looking to Morty. "It's in the past now..." she began, looking to her left. "Besides, it's not really your fault." Morty blinked, tilting his head some, still a bit red, but also curious as to what Tamora ment. "I mean, she was pretty much hitting on everyone..." Morty nodded, agreeing. "But still, we should have stopped her." protested Morty, Tamora only tilting her head. She looked to Morty, who still stood there, holding the tea tray. The two stared at each other in silence, Tamora completely forgetting about Anna's tea, until she glimpsed at the tea set. ...oh no, the tea..! she thought, her eyes widdening. She knew Anna would flip if she wasn't up there within the next 30 seconds. "Ah, Anna's tea!" cried Tamora, Morty blinking, as Tamora reached out taking the tray from him. "I'll wash these, why don't you help tray with the dummies?" offered Tamora, motioning outside to Trey, who was seeming to have a problem tackling a dummie. Morty smirked some, nodding. "Yeah, we wouldn't want to give him anymore brain damage." said Morty, Tamora laughing softly.
The two nodded, exchaning smiles, Morty relieved to no longer have her mad at him, and also relieved to have told her how he felt...even if he wasn't sure she felt the same way. Tamora then turned, carrying the tray towards the kitchen, Morty watching her. As she was about to enter the kitchen she stopped, turing some to look at him, as he was about to walk out the door. "By the way..." she said softly, Morty looking to her. She smiled, blushing brightly as she spoke. "I like you too..." She then turned, disappearing into the kitchen, leaving Morty to stand there, a happy look on his face.
